The Prime Minister, while referring to the killing of two
militants in Shopian in Jammu and Kashmir, said: “They were standing in
front (of the soldiers) with bombs and guns. Would my jawans go to the Election
Commission to ask for permission to shoot? Since I came to Kashmir, every
second or third day, clean-up operations are taking place.”

He further said that the ‘lotus’ was all set to bloom in the
country again. “The ‘mahamilavati’ group is now frustrated and desperate
because the people are voting for a strong government and a strong
nation,” he said.

The BJP has built its campaign around the theme of
nationalism and national security which no political party has opposed.
However, political parties have objected to the Prime Minister referring to ‘my
soldiers’ on the social media.

Earlier, Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath had
been pulled up by the Election Commission for referring to the Indian Army as
‘Modijikisena’.
Last week, the Election Commission gave a clean
chit to the Prime Minister for several speeches where the armed forces, the attack
in Jammu and Kashmir’s Pulwama and the airstrike at Pakistan’s Balakot were
mentioned.
